Soliloquy

Im wondering why people think they can tell me how to run my blog, especially when they say what "works" and what "doesnt work."

To the anonymous commenter that told me that quoting Shakespeare on my blog "just doesnt work" Id like to counter with the fact that Shakespeare is timeless, and are you saying that fashion and literature dont go hand in hand, even though both are categories of the arts? I am a lover of the theatre. I grew up with my family studying acting. My cousin was in a Shakespeare competition and went to state. I read his work in my spare time. Last year I starred as Hamlet in a comedic version of the play. Shakespeare is very much apart of my life as anything, in fact he contributed 200 words to the English language, and youre telling me that it just doesnt work. If this has to do with my age, Shakespeare can be read by a three year old or 90 year old, there is no age limit, except if you can understand whats been written on the page or not. This is my blog. Dont read it if you think the things I write "dont work."

Truth is, if you're gunna be annoymous, you're probably a cowardly asshole. Use a name, but only if ya got the balls! haha.And Shakespeare is an insane legend who wrote all of my favourite plays, oh and the Hamlet comedy sounds good!

love this outfit. and my first reaction when i saw the quote on the last post was "hey! that shirt is very shakeperean! nice comparrison there" i don't know if that was what you were going for but that was how my brain worked

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck whoever said that. Shakespeare is classic and timeless and anyone who quotes him clearly has amazing taste (in my books). Romeo&Juliet is the greatest love story of all time. And it's YOUR blog and you can write whatever the hell you want!

To Wendy - there's no need for comments like that. If you don't like what she writes, than leave. It's not hard. Don't read it, and if you do and you have nothing nice to say than say nothing.

I utterly agree with what you said about Shakespeare. He's timeless and I thought the qoute was wonderdul. It went really well with your outfit, and just ignore those rude people. You have an amazing blog in my opinion. :)

Dear Stylish Wanderer, ;)Its funny how some people feel as though they can tell other people what to write on their own personal blogs.

You are truly inspirational, and Im sure you already know that there'll be dozens of people trying to break your spirits because of how jealous they are.I hope you don't take these things to heart! People will seriously find anything ( a typo, a wrong date, a slightly off bit of information..) and try attack you over it, not even politely correct you. These people don't know you, they'll never know you, and that moron commented as anonymous. Keep up the good work!

I really like the layering!! I don't like the "vintage tee, skinny jeans, weird necklace" trend that is going on- I love how you gave the shirt a totally different feel that fits your style. And those boots are so good.

even though sometimes i prefer to put down shakespeare and go for other kinds of literature this is your blog so fill it with all the pretty little things you like don't let some anonymous person put you down you have so many people who love and follow you and your blog just exactly how it is

Hey your right...This is your blog.And you can write whatever you wanted to..;DAnd always bare in mind that nobody have the right to tell a person that it's piece "just doesn't work"!You look great on your shirt anyway..=)Thanks for sharing it to us..;D

everybody quotes shakespear....he is like the most quotable person ever....i dont see why anyone would have a problem...the fucking 6th graders who insist on having a facebook quote shakespear in their status....really you're fine...quoting shakespear really isnt something out of the ordinary so i dont know why someone would over react...but not all comments will ever be good. so dont worry.cute outfitI like the shirt a lot

and i wrote a frikken spectacular paper on hamlet last marking period if i do say so myself...but i actually hated it lol

Don't listen to Anonymous, but devoting an entire post to defending yourself against one measly commentator doesn't make the caring-too-much disposition you've already created for yourself any less true-sounding. What you've said here honestly just sounds pretentious. Anyway, I like your shirt.

Oh my god thats crazy!! I absolutely adore shakespeare! My father actually is a writer and he too wrote a comedic version of hamlet called "Something rotten in Denmark" That I stared in! I'm so happy! no one I know reads shakespeare!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou for showing that shakespeare is for everybody not just professors with patches on their elbows!Ahhh! So what is your favorite play?? Sorry I'm super pleased!

obviously a blog is your own personal creative outlet. by someone telling u how to run ur blog is like telling u how to run your life and telling you how u r meant to feel! i agree 100% that they have no business telling u how to run ur blog but on other matters i love the sharpness of the second picture ur tshirt is fab!

I totally agree with you. Shakespeare is wonderful and literature and fashion totally go together. However, I do think that quote is a little cliche--which is really sad to me, because it's lost its meaning. People have heard it so many times that they don't even think about it and the fact that it actually is quite profound. Will really had way with words.

peoples are haterz. i think you look stunning and can write whatever the hell you want, wear whatever the hell you want, buy whatever the hell you want, and tell people to stick it wherever the hell they want.

I totally agree with you. people shouldn't tell you what to do or what to write because obviously you write for yourself and the people who likes you!By the way, I love your shirt an^d the you put it in an outfit! ^

I can't believe someone would tell you that Shakespeare 'doesn't work'? What does that even mean!?

When I was in 6th grade my English teacher began reading us Shakespeare and we performed the plays. At first our parents thought this was slightly controversial (love, death, revenge, murder, etc) and that 'what could we possibly learn from Shakespeare' (small school, small town). My teacher persisted and by the time I was 12 I had read (and performed) Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Macbeth. When I got to highschool, the teachers couldn't believe we not only knew the plays, but their meanings, and the dynamics of each story.

Shakespeare has only IMPROVED my life, ever since I was a child. His work is beautiful and inspiring. Please post more Billy S and don't give 'Anonymous' the time of day!

UGHH!H! i hate anons, they are soo miserable and mean. and YOU are a NINJA! I already said this but only Camille knows what your face really looks like. harhar, i hope my lame attempt at humour translates over the cybernet:)

You opt to publish a public blog (which i happen to be a big fan of btw). The whole point of blogs is that you can interact and receive feedback. If you only want this feedback to be complimentary i suggest you only invite your friends to view it.Healthy critique is the only way to improve. You should be pleased that people engage enough to have an opinion.

yeah, it's just plain childish of you to expect that everyone's going to say nice things all the time or agree with your fashion style, and when that doesn't happen you launch a diatribe against him or her defending yourself. it just makes you sound whiny and pretentious. why don't you learn from your friend childhoodflames... SHE takes criticism and flamers in a grown-up way: IGNORE.

haters are gonna hate, mama. i can only imagine that the anon commenter was probably illiterate. =P that being said, Hamlet is my absolute favorite of all of the tragedies, and SCREW THE ANON COMMENTER. haha. =]
